  • Guide d’imagerie médicale pour l’ostéopathe

    • 1st Edition
    • Thomas Matthew
    • French
    Si la pratique de l'ostéopathie repose en premier lieu sur un diagnostic manuel spécifique, il devient de plus en plus indispensable pour le professionnel de savoir intégrer les données complémentaires de l'imagerie médicale, largement utilisée aujourd'hui. Conçu comme un guide, cet ouvrage présente l'originalité de s'adresser spécifiquement aux ostéopathes. Il se donne pour objectif de rassembler les connaissances nécessaires à une approche pratique de l'imagerie médicale. Fonctionnel, ludique et didactique, ce guide vise à : – favoriser la communication interdisciplinaire, la communication avec le patient et la compréhension des éléments radiologiques, en apportant les notions utiles de technologie et de technique ; – proposer une méthodologie d'analyse courante des clichés vus en cabinet, c'est-à-dire reprendre les notions de critères de qualité d'une image, la recherche des différents points d'analyse, les notions de pièges diagnostiques ; – éveiller le praticien à la notion de « diagnostic ostéopathique radiologique » (DRO) et aboutir à une utilisation en routine de celui-ci. Les notions sont abordées par région anatomique et incidence par incidence. Ce guide d'imagerie intéressera les ostéopathes en formation ainsi que les professionnels en exercice.

  • Psychopathologie générale des âges de la vie

    • 1st Edition
    • Daniel Marcelli + 1 more
    • French
    Chaque âge de la vie présente ses spécificités : le fonctionnement psychique n'y échappe pas. Du nourrisson au sujet âgé, la psychopathologie ne peut se comprendre en fonction d'un même paramètre. L'interaction et l'intrication des modèles de compréhension, qu'ils soient physiologiques, sociologiques,psycha... cognitifs et éducatifs sont la règle en pratique clinique. La collection Les âges de la vie dirigée par Daniel Marcelli propose une approche complète, nosologique, clinique, thérapeutique et socio-économique des problèmes psychopathologiques propres aux différents âges de la vie. L'ouvrage Quel est l'avenir de la psychopathologie ? Et d'abord, qu'est-ce que la psychopathologie ? Classiquement définie comme l'étude des états pathologiques du fonctionnement psychique, elle comprend également l'étude des aménagements psychiques consécutifs aux diverses étapes de la vie, mais aussi aux multiples conditions externes telles que les maladies graves ou chroniques, les événements négatifs affectant ce psychisme ou toute contrainte extérieure poussant le fonctionnement psychique dans ses retranchements. Cet ouvrage collectif offre les bases indispensables à la compréhension du normal et du pathologique en abordant les grandes entités psychopathologiques que sont la clinique de l'enfant, de l'adolescent et de l'adulte corrélées aux principales méthodes de soin. Il s'appuie sur les données scientifiques récentes ainsi que sur les progrès réalisés par les neurosciences. Ce livre expose ainsi la diversité des approches et des théories qui tentent de rendre compte du fonctionnement du psychisme humain, qu'il soit normal ou pathologique.

  • Stress in Health and Disease, An Issue of Psychiatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 37-4
    • Daniel L. Kirsch
    • English
    Stress in the DSM is referred to only in the sense of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, some research studies estimate up to two thirds of illnesses seen by general practitioners are ‘stress related’–GI problems, sleep disturbance, mental concentration, headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, dermatitis, illnesses from lowered immune system, and vague aches and pains – all can be symptoms and outcomes of the elusive stress factor. This issue of Psychiatric Clinics of North America discusses the scientific medical facets of stress, written by mental health and medical practitioners. It looks at the brain-body connection of stress – what the body does to result in stress and varying results stress has on the body. This fascinating cross-discipline look at stress is intended for psychiatrists, general practitioners, cardiologists, GI specialists, neurologists, sleep medicine specialists, respiratory specialists, and others who diagnose and treat patients with stress suspected as part of the illness equation or with self-reported stress. Topics include: Measurement of stress; Anxiety and stress-how they work together; Relationship between genetics and stress; Role of glia in stress; Sleep and stress; Diet and stress; Supplements and stress; Effect of severe stress on early brain development, attachment, and emotions; Role of stress and fear on the development of psychopathology; Expressions of stress in psychiatric illness; Dermatologic manifestations of stress in normal and psychiatric populations; Humor and the psychological buffers of stress; Stress expression in children and adolescents; Stress in service members; Stress in the geriatric population.
